WELCOME MESSAGE
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is a great pleasure to present you the European Conference “Safety of Medication
use in Pregnancy” held on February 2-4, 2015 in Poznań, Poland.
The Conference will be for the EUROmediCAT consortium, key stakeholders from
across Europe, and regional stakeholders (Poland and surrounding countries). We
expect pharmacoepidemiologists, obstetricians, neonatologists, diabetologists,
neurologists, psychiatrists, respiratory physicians, paediatricians, geneticists,
epidemiologists, pharmacists, public health specialists and all other professionals
who deal with safety of medication during pregnancy.
The conference aims to disseminate EUROmediCAT results and discuss them
in the context of related research and to agree a set of recommendations for
pharmacovigilance research, regulatory action and health policy relating to
medication use in pregnancy.
Sessions of the workshop will cover antidiabetics, antiepileptics, antidepressants
and antiasthmatics during pregnancy (1-4), prevention of exposure to teratogenic
drugs (5), methodology of reproductive pharmacoepidemiology (6) and
recommendations for reproductive pharmacovigilance in Europe (7). Panel (round
table) discussions with authorities in the field will be held (45 mins in each session),
each with summing up and re-commendations. Sustainability in terms of the
development of the EUROmediCAT system will be considered.
Poznań is famous both for its trade fair facilities and rich trading traditions, and its
interesting sights, original cuisine and welcoming atmosphere. Poznań surprises
you with the variety of its offer. It is the city where the modern meets tradition
and history, creating a mosaic which is one of a kind and unique. Poznań is worth
knowing!
We hope to see you in Poznan!
